There's a whole bunch of reasons to not be fans of the Proud Boys. In the words of the Southern Poverty Law Centre they're a 'general hate' group, their members played key roles in the January 6 attack on the US capitol, and they're pretty goddamn misogynist.

Or maybe it's not weird... So here's the question we're asking this week: why are the Proud Boys so obsessed with (not) wanking?

On this month's panel, we welcome Will Grant from The Wholesome Show onto the podcast and introduce Kylie Dolan, one of TFS' Editorial Board members who is making her podcast debut! Julia [1:01] dives straight into the Heart Foundation's latest campaign ‘Heartless Words', which has caused a bit of controversy in Australia. Julia elaborates: “the message is basically that if you love your kids, you'll take better care of your heart. Now… [it's] irresponsible…to suggest that all heart conditions are caused by people's behaviours” since it portrays the victims of heart disease as selfish. One thing that this campaign does highlight is the radical change in thinking about and approaching health problems from an individual-focus (which has dominated Australian medicine) to one of a collective-body-focus (i.e. your health affects your kin and you do not stand isolated from them). Given this scenario, Julia asks if there is a more effective way that health organisation can demonstrate this shift in thinking about the collective body WITHOUT turning to victim-blaming portrayals? Next, Will [5:13] changes our focus to stories, since recently he's been grappling with the questions of what a story is, what a story means to us, how a story works and how it has worked throughout history. After trying to define what a story is, Will alters his question to us: “We engage with stories so much, why is it hard to articulate what it is?” Kylie shares, “for me, when you brought up stories, I thought that the most resonating stories that I've ever heard are moral tales… fables … And I feel like maybe they're supposed to communicate something that can be interpreted and emplaced and taken on differently [by] whoever hears them. And different stories can have different effects on people as well.” Simon contests that “It's a very hard question Will!” Kylie [11:05] moves our discussion onto Reconciliation Week, which marks and celebrates two very important moments in Australia's history – the 1967 referendum to improve services available to Indigenous Australians and include them in both federal protection laws and the national census, and the 1992 Mabo decision that overturned the myth of terra nullius, which held that Australian land belonged to no one prior to British colonial arrival and occupation (obviously NOT TRUE). This year's Reconciliation Week theme is ‘Grounded in Truth, Walk Together with Courage', about truth-telling and grounding the relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait people and non-Indigenous Australians. So Kylie asks: what does it take to tell the truth about something you're afraid of or ashamed of? Lastly, Simon [17:15] concludes our discussion by asking what happens when prophecy fails? Referring to the recent Federal Election in Australia, in which the predicted outcome of the election - which had received a lot of hype leading up to it - ended up being incredibly incorrect, Simon questions what happens when you invest strong ideas into something which is predicted to come about, but then it doesn't come true? What happens next? Julia suggests maybe we should lower our expectations, Will tells us a story about balloons, the Trump election and coming to terms with outcomes, and Kylie offers that maybe after the prophecy fails, we naturally try to gain control over whatever we can, such as cleaning our bathroom.

"Although this stuff is very ordinary, very day-to-day, very unremarkable... it's actually quite dangerous, too." Steve Woolgar, emeritus professor at the Saïd School of Business at Oxford University and giant in the field of science and technology studies (STS), spoke to our own Jodie-Lee Trembath about the little niggling rules that we run up against everyday. Together they unpack what it means to be an "everyday person," how we all operate in a thicket of regulations, the storytelling that elevates rule-breakers and vilifies enforcers, and how to turn your speeding tickets into a valuable part of your research project. Find more of Steve's work on his Academia page: http://oxford.academia.edu/SteveWoolgar QUOTATIONS "There's been a long history of looking at the products of science or the products of technology and trying to develop an analytically skeptical perspective on those things. So you say, with a scientific claim, which appears very objective, you approach that by saying, well, actually, that's the upshot of a whole series of complex social and political processes, it's contingent, it could have turned out differently, and so on." "Ideas like 'proof' and 'facts' and 'theories' and so on, you can re-specify those as the practical work that scientists do. The same with ideas like 'governance' and 'control' and 'regulation;' you can re-specify that as the ordinary stuff that people get on with in their lives." The "mundane" is "a state which cannot be reduced any further, because it's just 'the way things are.'" "It's a very mundane act to try and check somebody's bag, or to put a parking ticket on them. But the system at work which makes all that possible is very vulnerable to people documenting it and producing information about it, and so on. So, I mean, it was a big insight for me, because I realized that, again, although this stuff is very ordinary, very day-to-day, very unremarkable, and son on, it's actually quite dangerous, too." "For sure, it seems like one has delegated to the extent that the system now has more power than you do." "We [academics] have a very poor ability to figure out what it is that people outside the academy actually want from us, and I always find that a really fascinating gap." CITATIONS Pollner, M.
